Eddie Murphy reveals his son and Martin Lawrence's daughter are officially married: 'We're in-laws'
Eddie Murphy's son and Martin Lawrence's daughter have made it official: Eric and Jasmin are married and their famous dads are now in-laws. "Actually, they got married, like, two weeks ago," Murphy tells his Dreamgirls costar Jennifer Hudson on Thursday's episode of The Jennifer Hudson Show. (See the conversation in the clip below.) "They went off.... Everybody was making the big wedding plans, and they decided they wanted to do something quiet with just the two of them." Murphy confirmed that he and Lawrence, his costar in projects such as Boomerang and Life, are now related by marriage. "Yeah, we're in-laws," he said. "And he doesn't have to pay for that big wedding now." The Coming to America star, who's a father of 10, had famously planned to have Lawrence pick up the tab on Eric and Jasmin's nuptials. (Lawrence is the father of three daughters.) "Well, Eddie said I gotta pay for it," Lawrence said in December 2024 on iHeartRadio's Big Boy's Neighborhood. "He said I gotta pay for it, 'cause he paid for his last daughter's wedding — like the last six weddings — but he said it's my turn now." Eric and Jasmin began dating in 2021, and they announced their engagement in November 2024. When Hudson asked whether Murphy had sung at the wedding, the "Party All the Time" artist shut her down. "No, they didn't have a wedding. They went off and they got married at the church. They just had the two of them and the preacher," Murphy said. "They had a quiet little thing. So I think we'll have like a big party or something." So will Murphy sing at the celebration? He joked that he and Lawrence might do a also hoping for a more professional reunion with the Bad Boys franchise star. "There's a bunch of ideas that we have," he said. "There's one thing: It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World. It's a movie from the ʼ60s. I want to remake it and do with all the funniest, like a who's who of Black comedy. That's what I want to do. And, of course, Martin would be in that." Read the original article on Entertainment Weekly

How is Eddie Murphy now related to Martin Lawrence?
Eddie Murphy and Martin Lawrence are now related. The two actors are delighted that Eddie's son Eric Murphy, 35, and Martin's daughter Jasmin Lawrence, 29, "ran off and got married" at a "church" a couple of weeks ago, following their engagement in November 2024. Eddie - who starred in the 1999 Universal comedy-thriller 'Life' with Martin - spilled on their decision to elope to Jennifer Hudson, 43, on her eponymous talk show, saying: "They got married, like, two weeks ago. "They went off ... everybody was making the big wedding plans, and then they decided they wanted to do something quiet with just the two of them. And then they got married." As Eric and Jasmin opted for a low-key affair, the 'Shrek' star - who has Eric with his former girlfriend Paulette McNeely, who he dated in the 1980s - joked that Martin no longer has to stump up a lot of cash to pay for a lavish wedding for his daughter. He joked: "Yeah, we're in-laws. And he doesn't have to pay for that big wedding now. "They went off and got married at the church. They just had the two of them and the preacher. They had a quiet, little thing. "Some people have like a big party, or something, but they ran off and got married." The 'Big Momma' star - who has Jasmin with his 54-year-old ex-wife Patricia Southall - previously revealed that he was expected to pay for Eric and Jasmin's wedding because Eddie covered the costs of his children's "last six weddings". Appearing on iHeartRadio's 'Big Boy's Neighborhood' in December 2024, Martin said: "Eddie said I gotta pay for it. "He said I gotta pay for it, 'cause he paid for his last daughter's wedding — like the last six weddings — but he said it's my turn now." Eddie's 1985 song 'Party All the Time' was the lead single on his first album 'How Could It Be', and it spent three weeks at number two on the Billboard Hot 100 Chart. However, the 'Beverly Hills Cop' actor insisted he will not be singing if Eric and Jasmin - who began dating in 2021 - have a second wedding that will see the smitten couple say "I do" in front of family and friends or a celebratory party. But, he did not rule out on performing a "duet" with Martin. After Jennifer teased the idea of Eddie picking up a microphone and performing, the dad-of-10 said: "No, I'm not singing! Martin will sing at the wedding. Do a duet. Yeah, maybe."
